Polish Prosecutors Investigate Supreme Court Chief Justice

Polish prosecutors have begun a criminal investigation into Supreme Court chief justice Zbigniew Kapiński following accusations from fellow judges that he abused his power. The investigation centers on Kapiński's actions between 2024 and 2026, specifically blocking motions related to ‘neo-judges’ appointed under the previous PiS government. This dispute is part of a larger conflict over judicial independence and the legitimacy of judges appointed during the PiS administration’s reforms.
